60 million euros were introduced to Maduaike, and Arsenal used shocking operations to tell the world that Arteta is undoubtedly professional in the professional takeover of Chelsea.

bought 7 players in 6 years, spending 160 million yuan, since introducing David Luis in the 2019 summer window, Arsenal has bought 7 players from Chelsea in the past six years, spending 160 million euros. Except for Maduaike and Havertz, the players who came to Arsenal from Chelsea are not worth a lot of money. Most of them are victims of the Blues when the lineup is updated.

In addition to focusing on taking over Chelsea, Arteta also has his own "hobby", which is to introduce players with both skills and physique from Real Sociedad. Based on the successful experience of Odge and Merino, Arsenal bought Subimémenti this summer.

Returning to the top is not easy, and the Gunners can only go step by step, and failed to compete for the Premier League for three consecutive seasons. Arteta is under tremendous pressure and focuses on taking over Chelsea's signings that Gunners fans cannot tolerate. In the process of returning to the Premier League Championship Group, Arsenal accommodated many abandoned players from giants. They not only bought people from Chelsea, but also obtained many old Guardiola's subordinates. Arteta hopes that these players can bring experience to the rotation lineup and help the new tactics be implemented. After years of unwinding, Arsenal must endure humiliation on the road to breaking through the cocoon. After entering the Premier League Championship Group, Arteta began to have his own "independent ideas" when signing, and buying Rice, Calafiori and Merino at a high price is his masterpiece. The introduction of Maduaike may be the final chapter of the drama of taking over Chelsea. Based on the legendary story of Salah and De Bruyne (also Chelsea’s abandoned player) back then, Arteta hopes that Maduaike can replicate the successful experiences of his predecessors. Even if Mr. 60 million cannot grow into a first-class star, it is still worth looking forward to as the Gunners’ championship puzzle (substitute).
